Ephesians 5:14 Wherefore he saith, Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light. 15 See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise, 16 Redeeming the time, because the days are evil. 17 wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is.

Romans 15:1 We then that are strong ought to bear the infirmities of the weak, and not to please ourselves. 2 Let every one of us please his neighbour for his good to edification. 3 For even Christ pleased not himself; but, as it is written, The reproaches of them that reproached thee fell on me. 4 For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope. 5 Now the God of patience and consolation grant you to be likeminded one toward another according to Christ Jesus: 6 That ye may with one mind and one mouth glorify God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Have yet to cut any wood or drive any nails - but I have "virtually" assembled this little house 5 times already - making sure all the measurements are right and all the components fit together. Just about done with the final revision. Going to great lengths with this in order for a fast build and perhaps plans for sale in the future. 49,58,39,0,B

Had to leave early this morning for a day in Alpine so I showered last night. Was all ready to clean off 3 weeks of stink and discovered my on demand hot water heater was spraying water everywhere but on me. Seems I forgot to drain it and it sat out over a couple of nights of below freezing temperatures...and one of the coils burst. The leak was easy to find once I took the cover off. Jumped into "fix it quick" mode and soldered the crack. Took all of 15 minutes to do the repair and get back to my much needed shower. 62,76,42,0,C
